NFL Tips – Cowboys @ 49ers – Week 8 2024

Dak Prescott

Dallas are playing awfully with owner Jerry Jones under fire while San Francisco have been decimated by injury but when two old rivals unite, there are sure to be fireworks.

Best Bet

Dallas +4
Line

One of the better plays in the NFL – and in most sports where physicality is a trait – is to bet on teams off public humiliations. That is why we are hard on the Cowboys.

Teams off a loss of 35 or more at home cover at 81.8% in their following game. Road underdogs of three or more off missing the spread by 30-plus cover at 73.3%.

Those are two incredibly strong angles.

The extended rest helps Dak Prescott too as he is 18-6 ATS off extended rest during his career.

Factor in how injured the 49ers are on both sides of the ball – particularly offensively – and the Cowboys seem one of the best bets of the week.


Same Game Multi

Brock Purdy 20+ Rush Yards/Jalen Tolbert 4+ Receptions/Jacob Cowing 30 Receiving Yards

Brock Purdy has topped 20 rush yards in three of his last five.

Jalen Tolbert has 23 catches across his last five games.

Jacob Cowing had two catches for 50 yards last week and projects as WR2/3 this weel with all the injuries and Ricky Pearsall on the comeback.


Value Bet

Brock Purdy Touchdown
To Score A Touchdown

Brock Purdy is an underrated runner of the ball. He has topped double digit yards in all seven games this year and 27-plus in three of the last five games. He scored twice last week and his running game will feature again this week against the Cowboys.
